Jacob William Sider

I had a consultation and briefly hired Jacob, but I found that he had rigidly held beliefs and spoke patronizingly to me even though I have also attended a good law school. I had an employment issue, and he didn't try very hard to see my point of view or find legal basis to support my case. ("I know ...the law better than you do!") He didn't seem to be in my corner or to show the promise of "zealous representation." He snapped up my case on the first phone call but later backed off on what he promised to do. I found a couple other lawyers who were fully in my corner and followed through with all the issues in the case, so I broke off with Sider and hired one of them instead.

This guy Jacob is the MAN! I called him in regards to a small employment issue where i was terminated without being paid my cleared expenses. He listened to my lengthy story and was johnny on the spot with the information he absorbed and sorted into a well worded response. The outcome was perfect ...for my situation and i walked away with a smile on my face and the new knowledge that my case was a piece of cake. Jacob is very informative and is willing to work with you in a very friendly, professionally and knowledgeable manner :) I would recommend him, even if its just for a consultation to see if its right for you!

I had retained attorney Sider due to harassment at my job. It was a difficult situation and I reluctantly decided that I was not ready to leave my job without a new job and that it would be difficult for me to negotiate a severance agreement at that time. About two weeks later, I found out I was ...losing my rented home due to the owner selling and that my job didn't pay enough, nor was it secure enough to sign a year lease at a new place. I new I had to leave then. I e-mailed him and left him a phone message asking him if he could assist me. For no good reason, he sent me a curt e-mail saying that he declined and that I had "disengaged" his services. His response left me in the lurch and made me feel like I had done something wrong. NOT OKAY AT ALL.

Jacob has all the business acumen a client can expect from an attorney. His due diligence of the case, recommendations( salt to the ground style), timely fashion returning calls. With my issue regarding my former employer Jacob was the only attorney who took the true time to listen to case and provid...e advice.
